Description

Creative Helper & Nature Lover

Hello! I’m Tracy, an artist, painting teacher, and community arts facilitator from the west of Ireland. I love connecting with people, learning from different cultures, and contributing to meaningful projects. I’m happiest when I’m creating, outdoors or helping families and communities thrive.
I’m looking for a summer Workaway in July 2026 where I can support with household tasks, gardening, childcare, and creative projects.

Gardening & Outdoor Skills
I grew up on a small farm surrounded by animals, fields, and vegetable beds, so outdoor work feels natural to me. I have hands on experience with:
• Planting, watering, weeding, and harvesting
• Using basic garden tools
• Caring for vegetable gardens and flower beds
• Being around animals (cows, sheep, donkeys, dogs, cats)

I enjoy the calm rhythm of garden tasks.

Childcare Experience
I have extensive experience working with children of all ages:
• Four years as an after school child minder
• Art teacher for toddlers through teenagers
• English teacher for children while living in South Korea
• Comfortable planning creative activities, helping with routines, and supporting learning
• Confident working independently or following a family’s structure

I love engaging kids through art, nature, and imaginative play. Safety, patience, and kindness are always at the centre of my approach.

Creative & Practical Skills
• Painting and arts instruction
• Social media and basic content creation
• Helping with household tasks and odd jobs
• Community minded, inclusive, and adaptable
• Reliable, respectful, and easy to live with

If you’re looking for someone dependable, creative, and happy to pitch in wherever needed, I’d love to connect. I’m excited to meet new people, learn new skills, and contribute to your home and garden.
